268: Cait Flanders, Blonde On A Budget Oct 14, 2015

Show notes

You’re not going to believe what my guest today is doing, she is actually on a spending freeze, yep a spending cleanse. I’ve gone on a juice cleanse, unsuccessfully. The idea of actually not spending any money on once and things that I happen to desire throughout the day whether it’s a coffee or a cab ride. Well it would be very difficult for me as I think it would be for a lot of people and Cait is a living, breathing experiment of this and she has been making headlines. I’ve known Cait for some time, she’s an avid blogger and very active in the personal finance community, she runs the blog Blonde on a Budget. She recently made new headlines with this spending freeze that she was embarking on, which she actually started last year. And so I thought, “You know what? Let’s get her on the show,” because I want to know how this cleanse is going, does it work, can it work, how can we all learn from this and maybe take some of the lessons into our own lives. A little bit more about Cait, she’s the creator of the blog Blonde on a Budget which she started in 2010 as a way to document her own journey to get out of debt. After paying off about $30,000 of debt, she decided to adopt a very minimalist lifestyle, she got rid of 75% of her belongings and she is, as I said, currently undergoing a two year shopping ban. She’s become very passionate about helping others create budgets that align with their goals and values while also teaching others to overcome consumerism tendencies. Her story has been featured in Forbes, Huffington Post, Yahoo! Finance, among many others. For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.

266: Jacquette Timmons, Financial Behaviorist Oct 12, 2015

Show notes

Today's guest is a financial behaviorist and has quite an interesting story as to how she got there. Jacquette Timmons started college at the Fashion Institute of Technology here in New York City at the young age of 16 years old where she was determined to make her mark as a shoe designer. The first semester into college she realized that she wasn't so good at drawing so she switched to become a marketing major. Before graduating she met her mentor who encouraged her to head to Wall Street. At that moment, Jacquette realized that there is a lot in common between the designer mindset and the world of money and personal finance. Fast forward years later and Jacquette is now a financial behaviorist and helps others to identify underlying behaviors and beliefs that help them from reaching their financial goals. She is also a coach, teacher, speaker and writer who talks about everything from common financial problems for the middle class to the 1%. She is also the founder of Sterling Investment Management, Inc. and author of "Financial Intimacy: How to Create a Healthy Relationship with Your Money and Your Mate."
